Rhythmic Language Dr Seuss Literary Criticism Research Paper

 

This is a research paper

You must add at least 2-3 works of literary criticism to help support your thesis and claim.

This paper should be 5-7 pages in MLA Format.

Note: The fifth page should not be your Works Cited page and your first page should not be a title page. 5-7 pages refers to the body of the paper, not the bookends that hold it together.In my research paper I will be writing about Dr.Seuss.

Some of the works that I will be examining are;

Dr. Seuss – And I Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street

Dr. Seuss – If I ran the Zoo

Dr. Seuss – Scrambled Eggs, Super!

And a couple more that I will be referencing throughout the paper.

There are some concerns by the readers who claim that Dr. Seuss might influence young readers in a bad way. Some of the works he has are very very offensive to some readers and are somewhat considered racist. On this paper I will try to dig deep into this controversial topic and examine his works alongside with the criticism articles that I will link below.
